Dodgers Place Edwin Díaz On IL With Right Elbow Loose Bodies
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Dodgers have placed right-hander Edwin Díaz on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow loose bodies and plan a procedure, though it is not expected to be major surgery, with hopes for his return this season.
- Díaz has struggled recently with diminished velocity and poor performance, including a rough outing on April 10th and another ineffective appearance last night, raising concerns about his health and effectiveness.
- Díaz was a key offseason acquisition for the Dodgers, signing a three-year, $69 million deal to bolster their bullpen as they pursue a third consecutive World Series title.
- The Dodgers' bullpen was a weak point during their 2025 championship run, and Díaz's injury leaves the team needing others like Tanner Scott, Alex Vesia, and Blake Treinen to step up in save situations.
- Further updates on Díaz's recovery timeline are expected, but the team must manage without him for at least the next couple of weeks.
